Hey. ❤️ We need you.
We’re extending a heartfelt invitation to invest in a community where people can continue to live with dignity, purpose and connection as they age. A strong senior center is part of the infrastructure of a strong town.

Falls Prevention Awareness Week: Choose One Next Step

Falls prevention does not have to begin with a complete overhaul. It can begin with one useful action:

• Complete the Falls Free CheckUp
• Clear one frequently used walkway
• Schedule a vision or medication review
• Try a strength or balance class
• Tell someone about a fall or near-fall
• Ask what local resources are available

The goal is not to make life smaller out of fear. It is to build the strength, information and support that help people keep participating in it.

Stay steady. Stay connected. Stay independent.

Falls Prevention Awareness Week: Talk About What Has Changed

Feeling dizzy, unsteady or less confident on your feet is worth discussing with your healthcare provider.

Changes in vision, medications, strength, sensation or balance can affect fall risk. Tell your provider about:

• Any falls or near-falls
• New dizziness or lightheadedness
• Changes in vision
• Difficulty standing or walking
• Medications that make you tired or unsteady
• A new fear of falling

Clear information helps your healthcare team understand what you are experiencing and identify appropriate next steps.

Falls Prevention Awareness Week: Take a Look Around

Small changes at home can make frequently used spaces easier to navigate.

Consider checking:

• Walkways for loose rugs, cords and clutter
• Stairs for secure handrails and clear steps
• Bathrooms for stable support and nonslip surfaces
• Entrances and hallways for adequate lighting
• Frequently used items for safe, easy access
• Shoes and slippers for a secure fit and good traction

Begin with the pathways you use every day. One safer walkway is a meaningful place to start.

Falls Prevention Awareness Week: Strength and Balance

Strength, balance and mobility support many of the movements we use every day: standing from a chair, stepping over an obstacle, reaching for an item or recovering when we lose our footing.

That is one reason Homer Senior Center offers accessible fitness opportunities, including Strong Seniors, Chair Aerobics and Core Balance.

You do not need to begin at someone else’s level. Start where you are, move at your own pace and build from there.

Classes are open to the community, and your first class is free.



We'd love to see you!
